Where do you get the 9 game package w/ controller? Is that tough to find? Does it come with 2 controllers or just one?

Weird cause I see a lot on eBay that advertise 14 games (5 sports + this 9 game package), plus 4 controllers.


I went to a WalMart in cincinnati today and bought a wii system. The store I went to told me they had gotten 20 in today. My friend went to a different WalMart today as well and also bought one. He was told that they had only gotten 6 in though.


No luck finding any Wii's in the Hartford Area, Connecticut area. I tried a few different WalMart's nobody got them today.


got 1 at GS in Miami this morning


Okay guys, when you state that you have found/bought a Wii, please be more specific with regards to what county/city/state (list 2 out of 3). This way people wont be asking "Where in CT?"

Thanks.

The toysrus thing was BS, I was on the website before the alert, you could not add the console to your cart. Same TRU BS as last year


I've also found the GameStop wii inventory checker that RedBeard25 posted from the previous thread to work pretty well where you replace the "XXXXX" in the zip code part with your own.

http://www.GameStop.com/productavail.asp?miles=100&sku=020070&zip=XXXXX&product_name=Console&platforms=Wii&sbox=&status=A&BN=False


We bought today at our local WalMart, $249. They told us they get Wii shipments via Fed Ex on an irregular basis a few times a week. None yesterday, 22 today. They informed me they usually get their shipment around 10-11am. I was advised to call the WalMart operator around 11am and she would know. I called at 10:30am and no info yet, called at 11am and was told they got them. I was able to get there within 20 minutes of calling and 2 of 22 units were left. Online route seems to sellout by the time someone posts it. Of course you need to be present to win (mobile) and not stuck to your computer. Goodluck. YMMV.

What browser are you using for this link? I have tried both IE 6/7 and FireFox. I put in my zip code and hit search. I then do a "View->Source" and I do not see any information regarding my zip code. This is what I see:

I think you missed the line that reads:

"Sorry. Our inventory information system is unavailable right now. We are working on the problem and should have it corrected shortly. Please check back soon to try your search again"


I thought that was an possible error message based on a event. Has this worked for anyone? I get the same results every time and I have been trying for 3 days.


BB is saying that there is one available in a store near me. Does anyone know if the BB inventory checker is accurate?


niki said: BB is saying that there is one available in a store near me. Does anyone know if the BB inventory checker is accurate?

if there is 1 available it won't be there when you get there


NeuroSynapsis said: niki said: BB is saying that there is one available in a store near me. Does anyone know if the BB inventory checker is accurate?

It doesn't seem to be accurate. I tried multiple zipcodes and all of them have wii showing as in stock in at least a few of the stores listed. I'm not going to trust it. Thanks!


I don't even see the console on Best Buy's site.


NeuroSynapsis said: mjfor40 said: Where do you get the 9 game package w/ controller? Is that tough to find? Does it come with 2 controllers or just one?

wii play "game"; comes with a buncha minigames + 1 extra controller IIRC

TRU was selling bundle for $349 last Sunday that was basically this package. It came with Wii Play (which has 9 games + extra remote) and then an extra nunchuk AND Mario Galaxy game. Perhaps TRU usually has this bundle available when they have wiis?


I think Target changed the ASIN number for the Wii. When I use the one in this thread, this is the result:

Could not recognize the ASIN value of B0009VXBAQ

When I search on another ASIN number (B000LFJNF2), I get this:

Search results for item B000LFJNF2 in zipcode 20723

Greenbelt - Not Available
Silver Spring - Not Available
Lanham - Not Available
Prince Georges Plaza - Not Available
Ellicott City - Not Available
Wheaton - Not Available
Glen Burnie North - Not Available
Glen Burnie - Not Available
Laurel - Not Available
Columbia - Not Available


thats actually the number for the Wii Charge station. B000LFJNF2 not the Wii


I know. What I am pointing out is that this ASIN number no longer works for the Wii console.

Could not recognize the ASIN value of B0009VXBAQ

Sorry i miss understood you. I pretty sure target is trying to hold them for ther 16th release.


anyone knows in Columbus Ohio where it would be easier to get a Wii? Thanks


I don't think the Best Buy tracker is accurate. It says almost every store within a couple of miles of where I live has it in stock. However, the times I have called or went to the store they have been out of stock.


Is Nintendo Wii Console (Janan Version)on YesAsia good to buy? This version only has Japanese language? Anybody know? Thanks. It is available now on YesAsia.

If you want one of these just buy it on eBay where they sell for less than 250


The new Target in Peoria AZ, (Lake Pleasant) has about 7 of them sitting in the bottom of the case. If I had worked a bit more overtime the last two weeks I would have picked a few up.

That's probably because Bestbuy is holding it and won't sell it till Sunday. I talked to a BB CSR a few days ago
asking for his help to check which BB would have a WII in stock. He said even if computer shows a number of Wii
in stock, they're not allowed to sell it till Sunday.


Just got home an purchased 5 from best buy in connecticut.


Buy.com BUNDLE GOO

What is the link to check availability at BB?
